Show tola the way of assemblies I doff i I'ly hat, give three loud silent ones, and do anything else you can think : I to praise of their effort. ! When President Stone called for ; I umouncements the student body in ' 1 general settled down for a paniful 9 trieal. Then a little girl on one of the bleachers arose and shouted "A." Question marks came upper- most in our minds until she was followed by seven others, each ihouttag their letters. The result toi a very pleasant assemblage of ft the word '"Accolade." They then told us what each of the letters fftfood for, which I am not going to The assembly was then turned H over to the S. O. S. club, and they ; certainly did an effective job of! H "saving cur souls." Pardon, I knowi M that Is not the name of the club. We j I were treated to one of the greatest I light spectacles of the year between j I two prsons who had names some-- I ttitag like "Tiny Tim Dockum" and d "Hot Spot One Round Jones." A number from the saxophone martet followed and then the student body almost became uncontrol- able with delight when Mr. Cowles I played us three selections on his m accordion. I The speaker of the day was David L. Stine of the state house of representatives who gave us a bene- j ficial talk on courage. I don't know H if I have succeeded in putting it! across that I, with the rest of I! the student body, enjoyed the as- semblv, but that is certainly my in- m tentlon. What do we want, gang? More like 'em. Rah, rah, rah. CHARLES WOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW What the school would be with- I out Mrs. Raymond's smile.

H continue in all our subjects or' I whether we have more study halls i per day. I think the teachers l should be very considerate of the students this semester, for on the 11 account of the depression most of I the students had to go to bed early 9 to save the light bill. Therefore, they could not get all their lessons. Or maybe it costs too much for ink:? I believe an apple for the I teacher now and then would help great deal. Don't you? Or maybe banana or an orange would raise I t D to a C—. And it's worth try- IGNOTUS. RAMBLINGS There fc a certain sociology class J that during their regular teacher's I absence has turned towards dramatic arts. It is said that several I Undents in this class staged a rav- K log maniac scene during one of their I periods. What do you bet that the I Scene went over with a bang? Mr. Wood has decided that his machine gun, pardon me, I mean I typewriter, doesn't fire fast enough. Be is taking some extra typing ex- 1 ercises to bring the number of words P aer minute up to par. When his B machine turns up to the proper I number of r. p. m. it will be time for even-one to wear a tin shirt I and keep out of sight. As we look back through history we find that there has been the I drive through the Argonne forest, E westward drives, the long drive, golfers' 300-yard drives, midnight; drives rabbit drives, and now we have 'the "keep the floors clean" drive and the complete uniform JIM GIBSON. THE avalanche I The avalanche which comes, lMher it is wanted or not, is about due to arrive, as it is the winning of the sixth week. Youi can tell the avalanche is due, even H you do not know it is the sixth 11$& by the teacher's manner. The vat usually gets more severe and M do the teachers, as a rule, though ymttiwu the work is easier and so IfSphe teachers, though not very Cftn. H the teachers are in such: Mods, do not blame them, for they ill to correct the test papers, the' pool things. They make us work IDd then" they have to put forth mn effort, so it is even. A very remedy for all this would be jBlufcwi oral tests. Just think of all I tfevmore we would learn from suchi fgl as we would hear different; answers and at least the correct one once in a while. But teachers! are deaf to all plans, pleadings and groans, the tests always come. The, prayer of many will be, Oh, Lord, I hope that teacher is near-sighted. Amen" SID GORDON.

( THE NEXT GAME The first league basketball game 'will be held next Friday, January 22. The game will be played with Weber County High at their gym. This is the old battle for the city championship and Ogden shows a very good chance of winning. The team has had plenty of practice and is in fine condition. The support of the student body is necessary at this game, in fact, it is necessary at all of the games. Be sure to go to this game and take an extra pair of lungs with you in case that your present one gives out before the 1 game is over. Be there! LAST WARNING j Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very last announcement concerning the much heralded smokeless smok¬er. The committee in charge of ar¬rangements, under the capable su¬pervision of Buss Farr, has done ev¬erything in its power to make this j event a success, and it is up to you to support it. It is tonight at seven-thirty in our gym. Everyone is invited and the admission charge is 25 cents. We promise you an eve¬ning of entertainment. We'll be seeing you there. AUNT JANE'S CORNER .Dear Aunt Jane: [ Please tell us how many dances, i including the extras, will be played at the Accolade. —A Couple of Juniors. Dear Juniors: There will be sixteen dances and four extras. We will try to have j them shortened so that we might have all of them. —Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane: Will you please tell me whether the girls should buy the tickets, the lunch and also should they furnish the car. —You Oughta Know. Dear You'd Oughta Know: It is the duty of the girls to buy the tickets. However, the lunch and care ar all a personal matter. —Aunt Jane. MY AMBITIONS Will this be your diary? January 20: As I passed by the piece of architecture in our school commonly called the bulletin board, I was attracted by the quietly com¬manding aspect of a typed notice. After perusing it for about five minutes I started forth on my dan¬gerous journey down the crowded halls, yet heedless of the confusion, for I was debating upon the sub¬ject, "Resolved: That I should try out for the position of sport editor on the Quarterly Classicum staff." January 22: Inspired by a snappy pep assembly, I persuaded my girl friend to take me to the an¬nual Weber-Ogden basketball game before going to the girls Accolade. The hour was thrilling, as only an hour can be when its duration em¬braces the crucial game of the year. It lacked nothing a young report-er needs for inspiration in the liter¬ary line. I have an idea for my tryout, so what matters it that What's-her-name gave me several dark looks, evoked, no doubt, by my abstracted manner during a very dreamy waltz? January 25: I finally summoned the courage to dash in to Mr. Rob¬ins' room at the last minute, four o'clock, and place my masterpiece upon his desk for the judgment of the staff. For several days now I shall be held in suspense, and then will come either success or failure. Oh, well, may the best man win! DIARY OF A DAMSEL ! Any Day: Why, it must be later than that. I doubt if I can survive fifteen minutes more of school. If I ever become a teacher (which is doubtful) and have not executed my daily good turn by the seventh pe¬riod, I'll dismiss class at three-fifteen. Thus run my thoughts, but the yare soon interrupted by the sound of a bell, which makes the sweetest music ever welcomed by my scholastically weary ears. I give ample proof of my good manners as I rush down the crowd¬ed halls. Freedom is my goal, but where in the thunder does everyone come from? Oh, well, call the am¬bulance; I'm in a hurry 1 A double curse on that lock. It is absolutely the most unsympathetic article. I may always trust it to act up at a time like this. If that combination hadn't worked this very moment, somebody would have been shocked with my flawless Eng¬lish. I can't possibly give transpor¬tation to all those books; further-more, I must not forget that good show tonight. With admirable speed I present myself and baggage at the door. Company appears in the form of my girl friend, and soon we turn our backs on Ogden High. "I'll be wait¬ing," it shouts. "Well, school is out," my com¬panion hastens to inform me. "Don't worry," I reply propheti¬cally. "You'll be back at eight-thir¬ty tomorrow morning for some more of it." —Susie Seventeen. CROWD GREETS SCHOOL DRAMA "Polly With Past" Will Be Repeated Thursday Evening A capacity house of enthusiastic listeners attended the production of the Ogden High school play, "Polly With A Past," in the South Wash¬ington Junior High school Tuesday evening. The performance was free to the unemployed of Ogden and as many as could crowd into the auditorium took advantage of the offer. It will be repeated Thursday eve¬ning in the Weber County High school hall and tickets may be had at the Ogden community relief headquarters and at the Ogden High school. Jan. 20, 1932 O.H.S.

ERA OF BIG BUSINESS The oratorical brows of Congress members were wrinkled last Monday night by several problems of con¬siderable magniture. Congress en¬gaged in the peaceable transaction of its club affairs, however, is quite inspiring a sight as Congress verb¬ally enraged. Having fulfilled the miscellaneous requirements for membership, Bob¬bie Kimball and Olive Thatcher were voted into our forensic fold. All present "eyed" the motion to participate in the state debates with or without Forum as a colleague (just another exa-e of Leap Year beldnessl). Those in attendance then assumed positions and frames of mind con¬ducive to an absorption of the con¬tents of speeches concerning the assembling of proof. A motion for adjournment, and then one more meeting of Congress was disposed of, to live hereafter only in the annals of our worthy order. ENTRANCE RULES The University of Southern Cali¬fornia gives a student three ways in which he may become eligible for work in the university. The first, called plan A, is the one which most students take. It has three major requirements, (1) that the student be a graduate of an accredited high school, (2) that in the subjects he lists that he has completed he have no grade lower than "B," (3) that he include in his credits the follow¬ing: Three credits in English, two credits in a foreign language, one credit in United States history and civics, one credit in a laboratory sceince, one credit in algebra, one credit in plane geometry, and six electives of which three must be what is described as academic, sub¬jects in which entrance examina¬tions are given. Plan B requires that the student take and satisfactorily pass the en¬trance examinations given by the college entrance examination board throughout the world on June 20 and 25, 1932. Plan C requires that the student be able to meet all the requirements for admission to the state universi¬ty of the state from which he comes. HERE'S ANSWER TO ONE! Dear Editor: I never realized a person could be so clever a writer and still be able to make light of situations that are really serious. Last Monday night a student wrote: "I would like to know why they put the council report in the notes and on the bulletin board; it's never read." Apparently this stu¬dent reads the school constitution in the same way that he reads the council report. According to Article I, Section IV, of the O. H. S. constitution— "Within twenty-four hours after every meeting of the school council or student assembly, the secretary shall post upon the bulletin boards a correct record of the proceedings of such assembly or council." That is the reason; and acting upon the advice of Mrs. Irwin, the writer always puts one copy in the ! Notes in hopes that people as this I student might find time to read J them. The O. H. S. Notes staff has taken it upon themselves to publish assembly reports. This also was on the advice of Mrs. Irwin. There are certain things that go on in O. H. S. that are directed and enacted according to school law. When, in the course of time, stu¬dent writers become so wanting for digs and wisecracks that they must display their own scant knowledge of school government to satisfy these wants—this writer suggests they do something to better this pitiful condition.—Earl Reeve, S. B. Secretary. N. E. O. CLUB The N. E. O. club met Monday at eleven-ten in Mrs. Newcomb's room, with President Louis Hodgson in charge. Several members of the class gave interesting reports on books they had read. Others gave sales talks on magazines and books. After the talks the class responded with criticism and boosts, after which Miss President congratulated the class on their response and spirit. The meeting adjourned at tv/elve noon—Phil Bartholomew, Reporter. |
